Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add diced pork and brown, stirring occasionally, until edges turn golden, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in sauerkraut and sliced carrot, then pour in broth. Add bay leaf and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Simmer gently for 10 minutes until pork is tender and flavors meld. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Step 4
Remove from heat and stir in sour cream until the soup is creamy and smooth. Remove bay leaf.
